History:
In 2008 I purchased the boat, named the Black Pearl, still new, from its original owner in Massachusetts and trailered it back to Texas. Absolutely no problems. She has been used in fresh water only, including summers in Grand Lake, Colorado and Lake Travis, Austin, Texas. In my 12 years of ownership the boat has been in storage for 7 years.
My H 12 1/2 is still like-new but my age and condition says she needs a new skipper.
